Why do American cops/Forest rangers/Security/Mountain patrol have such a hard on for catching people with small ass joints or a minimal bags of weed on or around the mountain. I'm all for mountain safety, if they think people are smoking joints and getting a acid trip high while riding they are retarded.

I just want to throw this out there as I work for the Forest service, we do not hate on smoking. 90% of forest service employees smoke, no fucking joke. I work in fire and we are the schmucks that would get a 'go tear that shack down' kind of job, and trust me, we ALL smoke (figurative statement obviously)
